  The Mage armor would be for when you're in Vampire Lord form. He said he wasn't sure if leaving out the paralyze enchant. If you want you can always have an unenchanted weapon with you if you want.

  Pretty good build emphasizing vampire unique abilities! +1

  Have you tried that infinite magicka combo on higher difficulties? Equilibrium burns through your health pretty fast on Master and even faster on Legendary when your vampiric drain gradually weakens. To make it somewhat viable you'll have to use Fortify Destruction potions. I also think you should add Blood of the Ancients blessing that makes your vampiric drain absorb magicka and stamina alongside with health.

  Another thing: what does Reversing Gargoyle achieve? Yeah, they're encased in ash and time is slowed. But you can't damage them in any way and if it's solely for recovering or giving yourself time, then Slow Time is pretty useless since Ash spells last for a really long time.

  Getting away mostly, I used it for harder enemies that take you unawares that are out of you range of level or are too overpowered to fight at your current level.

  It also gives you time to heal, cast cloaking spells, or turn into a Vampire Lord without taking damage whilst doing so.

  Sorry, should've explained that in the build, to me it was obvious, that's why I paired it with Slow Time, to give you even more time to do those things.

  A have a question. You talk about a dagger and mention "Dragonbone Sword of Petrifying" but your sword has Health absorb and you said "Dragonbone Dagger of Petrifying" on weapon list. Typo?

  I edited that hours ago.... It says 'Dragonbone Dagger of Petrifying' and 'Dragonbone Sword of the Vampire'

  Are you referring back, or can you still see it like that?

  Edited, thanks for pointing it out. Must've had weapons on the brain or something.

  So immersed in the writing the build I must've got confused...
